Do we need a high level brake light in a speedster??

Post by Paulvx »

Hi all

We’re sorting the electrics in my speedsterclinic speedster - will it need a high level brake light - if so what do you suggest?

Many thanks

No but it will need a rear fog lamp.

was thinking about fitting the fog light inside the engine lid grill and then after IVA changing it over t a high level brake

Think its within the height limits for the fog light for IVA

Sure someone will know who has read a fully understand the IVA doc, its a monster.... :P

That’s what I’m doing. Made up a temporary 3/4 length grille out of ABS plastic. E marked LED fog light sits on a horizontal platform underneath it in the bottom of the grille space. I bought the rear fog light latch relay kit from CBS so that the fog light goes out with the lights and only comes on again if deliberately switched on.
